Console Closed Beta Testing Begins

Hi-Rez Studios has announced that the Paladins closed beta test for both PlayStation 4 and XBox One has officially kicked off. The console CBT allows players to try out all of the content through Season 1 patch including twenty-two champions, champion customization, 3v3 (Siege, Payload and Survival), cooperative challenge mode and competitive ranked mode.

As part of the celebration surrounding the closed beta announcement, Hi-Rez also announced Console Wars, a tournament to be held at Dreamhack Valencia on July 13-15. Top console teams from North America and the EU will duke it out for bragging rights and a portion of the $50,000 prize package.

“For too long console FPS competitors have been limited to either Xbox One or PS4 based upon publishing deals and exclusivity”, said Todd Harris. “With Paladins we want to break down that wall, and so these Console Wars LAN events will feature the best Xbox One team taking on the best PS4 team.”
